Quoted from pinlink:I'd love for them to chime in with what they paid. They are not basing it off what they paid, but what they hope it is now worth. You think they all paid 4-4500? You're kidding yourself.
I paid 4k for mine back in 2012. The color DMD was announced the week after I bought it. It was/is in great condition and has been going strong (with some minor tweaks/fixes) for over four (nearly five) years now. No regrets at all with what I paid.
STTNG is and has been an "A list" title for as long as I can remember. I put it and IJ above MM, TZ, MB, RFM, TAF and CV. And I really like those games. STTNG goes for less than them becasue of general availability and a narrower theme fan base.
This is a title that is affected by LOCATION. Here in Michigan it tends to ride a little higher (as do most used pins) than most other areas....except for maybe California.
It was a 4k pin in great condition all day long back in 2012 here and basically has not moved much since then.....maybe 4500-5k now but condition is key.
